As you surely recognized in the northern hemisphere of the world, it’s getting colder outside. As velominati rule #5 – harden the fuck up – suggests, I will be still riding in fresh air. So the question of clothing arises. Especially clothing in the Face, since there is skin, that will be exposed to the cold. 
What I experienced in the last winters is, that cold wind around my eyes is very nasty. It’s like my eyelids freeze up and my eyeballs get irritated, meaning they are turning a little bit red. This year I wanted to adress this issue and tried out “motorcycle glasses”. 

The good news:

– The foam around the glas actually protects from cold air. 

– sight is good in this ones

– and the band presses the glasses on tight. Almost sealing it up. 

The bad news:

– after twenty minutes of riding it fogs up. That’s why I cut out a little bit of foam over the nose to  get a small ventilation going again. And it works

– It doesn’t look so cool on my face. 

– and it molds it’s shape in my face for at least one hour after the ride

How do you protect your face from the cold winter?
